## Description

Chat with Apple Intelligence on your iPhone. Image Playground, Writing Tools, Smart Reply, Translate — all on-device, no cloud.

Aside is a private, on-device AI chat for iPhone.

It runs entirely on your phone using Apple Intelligence — your conversations never leave the device. No account. No cloud. No telemetry. Works in airplane mode.

WHY ASIDE
For the questions you wouldn't post to a server. Health. Legal drafts. Personal journal. Half-formed ideas. Aside answers, and forgets nothing — because it never had a reason to remember anywhere but on your phone.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Chat in clean Markdown — bold, lists, headings, code blocks
• Attach photos — on-device Vision extracts text and context first
• Dictate with the mic — speech recognition is local too
• Save every conversation on-device, organized in a clean sidebar
• Search across every message you've ever written
• Share or copy any chat as Markdown
• Long-press a message to copy, regenerate, or delete
• Pick a persona (concise, friendly tutor, brutally honest, code-focused — or write your own)
• Adjust text size, toggle Markdown rendering, control haptics

100% PRIVATE
Aside makes zero outbound network requests during a chat. Verify with a packet sniffer. The model lives on your iPhone's Neural Engine; the conversation stays where it started.

REQUIREMENTS
• iPhone 15 Pro or later, OR iPhone 16 / 17 (any model)
• iOS 26 or later
• Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings

ONE-TIME PURCHASE
$9.99. No subscription. No in-app purchase. No upsell.
